Apple ID appearing on another iPhone device (Sync confusion)

Issue
iTunes is sporadically requesting access to my partner's Apple ID account when downloading applications and trying to install the other iTunes account applications also when syncing takes place within iTunes. System software/accounts seems confused.
How can I ensure that both devices remain separate and do not access each other's iTunes accounts or sync over Mac logins? How can I delete mixed applications from separate Apple ID's ensuring it won't replicate the deletion on the primary Apple ID?
Background
1 x Macbook Pro OS 10.8.2
iTunes 11.0.1
App Store 1.2.1
1 x iPhone 4S OS 6.0.1 (Device A)
1 x iPhone 4 OS 6.0.1 (Device B)
Separate Apple ID's
Separate iCloud accounts
iTunes accounts
Both people have our own iTunes accounts linked to their own device. All details are currently correct when checking Apple ID profiles.
MacbookPro
Both people have separate MacBook Pro logins and software is all up to date.
History
In the past, over a year ago, both iPhone devices were sync'd via the same iTunes and Macbook log in. (Not a good start I know) Both iPhones always had their own iTunes account for downloading apps and music etc. When I realised I was syncing application data from one iPhone to the other on my Macbook, I created two Macbook log ins. I deleted all applications on Device B that were transferred from Device A and also deleted the applications in Device B's iTunes account. It seemed that both devices finally had seperated, retained their own Apple ID logins, applications and Macbook user logins.
Device B recently tried to install an application that Device A also had.
The application installed onto Device B without an issue and there was no confusion with Device A having the same application. The application can be upgraded to provide additional functionality. When Device B requested this within the application to upgrade, the Apple ID of Device A suddenly appeared.
I checked that Device B was asked to INSTALL the primary basic version of the application rather than OPEN it, just incase the confusion started at this point. It definitely said INSTALL.
I thought the divorce was done and dusted in the past.
Why would Device B suddenly point Device A's Apple ID?
To troubleshoot, I connected Device B to iTunes on the MacBook with Device B's Macbook log in. When iTunes opened within the Apple ID of Device B ALL DEVICE A applications appeared and started to sync these applications to Device B! I am back to mixed accounts.
How can ITunes suddenly connect the Apple ID's of both accounts and then tell Device B it needs to install Device A's applications? They are separate Apple ID accounts, separate copyright, separate costs.
I know with iMatch that you can share the library with another device and when this occurs it locks the Apple ID of the primary iTunes account for 90 days on secondary device. We have never done this.
I'm 'Syncing' trying to work this one out, please help!

Dear all, please hel!!
I sync my iphone ios 4 to another iphone ios5, sync was completed but after a few secs, the iphone with the IOS 5 firmware will auto restart and freezes at the home screen which I can't unlock. It will then freeze for a few secs before repeating the restart phase again and again and again.
To solve this issue, I have to hold the "home" + "off" button to restart the phone. Afterwhich, it will restart the phone. However, although my stuff are still on the phone, all my sms are gone.
Can someone please assist urgently.
My data was transferred from another iphone 3GS which is running an IOS 4.0.1 to another 3GS running ios 5.0.1
Is there a serious compatibility issue with both firmware?
Please help.
Thanks!

Can't I just set up Exchange as one of my calendars in ical?
Only if you're running Snow Leopard and your employer will allow access (different than iPhone/mobile device access, so most likely not), but not needed - keep reading.
Is it really true that I have to choose between syncing Exchange with work server OR syncing iCal with personal Macbook?
No. It was true, but with the v3.0 software that changed - you can now sync your Exchange contacts and calendar over the air, and your Address Book and iCal via iTunes over the docking cable.
What is the best work around for this?
None needed. When you set up the exchange account, and choose to turn on syncing of contacts and calendars, you will be prompted to remove all other data, or keep it on the iPhone. Choose the keep option. Note that in that case, your personal data will not be uploaded to the Exchange server - the iPhone keeps them separate (although you can choose to view them in a merged fashion).
I have this set up on my phone (Exchange calendar along side personal and other calendars from iCal). Same for contacts. Works great.

Try resetting your Apple ID password.

Now restart your iPhone.
Press and hold the sleep/wake button until you see the red slider then swipe to power off. Then press and hold the sleep / wake button until you see the Apple logo.
Try the game center.

Thank you for responding, I appreciate your time. My Apple ID has always been my email address. Can I delete this account and create another one, then hopefully, my previous ID will not appear on my friends iPhone and have any influence on his account.
Thank you!

Can I use a different Apple ID for Find My IPhone and syncing contacts, calendars, etc?

I would like to use one Apple ID to sync all of my contacts and calendars, but I need to place the Find My iPhone functionality in a different Apple ID account. Is this possible? Ideally Find My iPhone would be the ONLY feature used by that account, not app sharing, store purchases or anything else.

To better describe what I am needing:
1. - iPhone 1
2. - iPhone 2
A. - Apple ID #1
B. - Apple ID #2
On 1. I need A for purchases and iCloud and B for Find My iPhone.
On 2. I need A for purchases and B for iCloud and Find My iPhone.
In addition, will iCloud store text messages?

What if i sync my iphone on to a laptop of where another iphone was sync and all my information was lost

I sync my iphone4 on to a laptop where another iphone4 was previously sync. Now i lost all of my settings in my phone and i need to know if there was a way i could regain them

Stephanie
If you had back ups on your own computer (default iTunes behaviour) then it is only a mater of connecting your iPhone to your computer and restoring from a back up.
If you didn't have back-ups then I don't think that you will be able to restore any of your settings or lost content.

Sharing calendar appears on another persons device - security and privacy risk

I really wanted to raise this as a bug, but couldn't find anywhere to do that.
On my wife's iPhone which is running iOS 7, I wanted to share her iCloud calendar to my Apple ID so that I could see her calendar from my iPhone (also iOS 7). Although I received the email telling me to accept the shared calendar, when I clicked the link it told me I was not authorized. I then discovered that my parents had received the sharing invite on their phone (iOS 4.2.1) which they accepted and could see her calendar.
This is a security and privacy risk because they are not connected to my iCloud account and it is not the account we specified to share with. Also we did not specify their account to share with. How can this happen? Their iPhone was never registered to my Apple ID. The only connection I can think of is that I believe my email address (which is also my Apple ID) is listed as their secondary email address or something.

Sorry just realised it was their iPad 3 that received the invite not their iPhone, and it would have been running iOS 6

Applications from one Apple I Phone to another IPhone.

*I am replacing my Apple IPhone with a newer one. Both phones are 8G 2nd Generation.*
*How will be able to make sure all the applications from the old phone get transferred to the new phone?*
I guess what I am asking what is the best way to do this?

If you would like the new phone to be almost a clone of the old one you could restore the new iPhone from a backup of the old one. But if you are having application crashes on the old on, those crashes can carry on through backups.

I tried making a new Apple ID for my official iPhone device and found that my official email ID is already taken (although I don't remember taking the same). I have trying to reset my password since last 3 days but I'm not getting any email from Appl

Despite requesting several times through iforgot, I have not received any email from Apple support on my official email address.

try this...
Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security
ÇÇÇ

I changed my iphone unlocked and the man in the apple store miami gave another iphone but now my new iphone is locked!

what i have to do now?

Then call the Apple store, ask to talk to the manager. Fact is, only the store can fix this. You can try calling AppleCare in the US: 800-275-2273...ask to talk to "Customer Relations"...tell them your story...they should be able to verify everything and might be able to fix things remotely.

Iphone not syncing contacts/calendar to iCloud

I have all the updated software and installed icloud on all of my devices. I have turned on all options under icloud settings on my iphone in terms of syncing.
I have been able to do a back up of my iphone onto the icloud under storage and backup on my iphone.
If I add a contact or calendar item on my mac, it goes to the icloud and my iphone. No problem there.
My problem is, if I add a contact or calendar item to my iphone, it does not put it on the icloud or on my mac. Please help.
Thanks

On your Mac open System Preferences > iCloud. Deselect the boxes next to Contacts and Calendars, reselect those boxes then restart your Mac.
On the iPhone, tap Settings > iCloud then switch Contacts and Calendars off then back on then reset the device.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Hopefully everything will sync.
